I WAS wondering why videocams have no such lag (like a streaming video type image when moving the camera with EVF). But I am not really an EVF pusher at this point. I just see some potential. Besides, I never liked the prism protrusion of SLRs. It's ugly :-). And their clanking noise is even annoying. Ken P.S. Whatever the industry does, I would embrace 4/3 rangefinder even if it might sacrifice longer FL. I only need 24~200 max (or even 135) FL for the true portability. I never bought it but Contax G2 looked awfully enticing at the time. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
